Yancey, H F; Johnson, K A

Tests have shown that certain types of bituminous and subbituminous coals may be burned efficiently in underfeed anthracite stokers of ash-removal type. Best results obtained by Bureau of Mines were with noncaking bituminous and subbituminous coals which form clinkers only at high temperatures. Coals with lower ash-fusion temperatures also were burned with high efficiency with a stoker installed in a common type of hot-water boiler. Detailed results of burning trials, descriptions of the testing procedure and equipment, and other data are included.
